The Phillips Collection at the Kimbell Art Museum

Recently The Travelling Toe and 3 other Dear Friends visited the Kimbell Art Museum to view the latest exhibit, "A Modern Vision of European Masterworks from The Phillips Collection".  Duncan Phillips amassed a vast number of artworks ranging from Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Expressionist.  In 1921, Mr. Phillips opened the Phillips Collection in his family home and it is considered to be the first American museum dedicated to modern art.

1886 - 1966

Photographs were not allowed in the museum but The Travelling Toe purchased several postcards with some of the paintings we saw on display - needless to say these postcards do not do justice to the real paintings


Vincent Van Gogh
The Road Menders
Edgar Degas
Dancers at the Barre
 
Edouard Manet
Ballet Espagnol



Alfred Sisley
Snow at Louveciennes



We all thoroughly enjoyed viewing these works of art that we might never have had the opportunity too see them if not being on loan to the Kimbell.   What a wonderful way to spend about an hour viewing these beautiful pieces of art!  Then having lunch afterwards of course!
